Capital One

We help our customers succeed by bringing humanity, ingenuity and simplicity to banking.

Capital One Financial Corporation, incorporated in July 21, 1994, is a diversified banking company focused primarily on consumer and commercial lending and deposit origination. Its principal business segments are Local Banking and National Lending. Local Banking includes consumer, small business and commercial deposits, and lending conducted within its branch network. The National Lending segment consists of three sub-segments: the U.S. Card sub-segment, which consists of domestic consumer credit and debit card activities; the Auto Finance sub-segment, which includes automobile and other motor vehicle financing activities, and the Global Financial Services sub-segment consisting of international lending activities, small business lending, installment loans, home loans, healthcare financing and other diversified activities.

Capital One is on a mission to help our customers succeed by bringing ingenuity, simplicity, and humanity to banking. We were founded on the belief that the banking industry would be revolutionized by information and technology, beginning with credit cards. We are now the nation’s fifth-largest consumer bank and eighth-largest bank overall.

Founder-led by Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Richard Fairbank, we believe that innovation is powered by perspective and that teamwork and respect for each other lead to superior results. Across the company, we’re building customer experiences that are real-time and intelligent. We measure our efforts by the success our customers enjoy and the advocacy they exhibit.

We’re enabling great talent with great spaces. Our award-winning office designs promote creativity and collaboration. In 2018, we opened our new headquarters in McLean, Virginia, where engineers, designers, and data scientists work side by side to imagine the next great chapter of Capital One.
